I use "add label" (control-B, or command-B on mac) for each marker, and then export multiple files (of whatever format you need) based on the labels, with leading numbers to keep them in order.

This blew my mind. All this time I've been selecting where I want the track break, then selecting everything after that point, cutting it, pasting it, and then aligning with the end of the previous track. You just saved me several clicks per track

I used to do a "SPLIT TRACK at label" which sounds like a simpler workflow for your old style, but Ctrl-B is the simplest. The best thing about not having to split the tracks is that now you have a label track which can be cut and pasted - for instance, from the original mix project to a separate project for tracking! You can make your track points, THEN remix the show and it's simple and fast.

With all your help I think Ive cracked it. I'm going to keep the talkie bits as they're integral to the show. Ive started using Wavepad to split the tracks (much more straight forward than I thought) and will then batch process the talkie bits in Ocenaudio to amplify the talkie bits. Fingers crossed.

I've never heard of ocenaudio until this thread, but i'd worry that there would be discontinuities in the sound level at the junctions, unless you do crossfades.

i always struggled with making the parts normalized to different volumes sound seamless upon playback. lots of to-the-sample-trimming and crossfading, which was frustrating and time consuming with poor results

im not a video guy so i almost never use Vegas but it made short work of that. check it. links to before and after wavs in description of pics

Why would this occur? Normalize is not something which makes sense to run on individual tracks. Normalization is something usually applied to the entire recording at once, which simply raises the entire recording up in volume level arithmetically, until the single highest peak is at the desired level.
